O.K.
2007 R1200R 15K miles fully maintained and pampered...
Just went down to the gas station and filled her up.
Came home to change jackets due to the cool weather.
Went back out to start the bike and turned it on and everything was dead.
Pushed the button and got a 'click' and nothing.
Nothing showing on the computer either.
Turned the key to off and also to 'lock' and back to 'on' and the computer shows time and total miles only.
Tried key on again several times and the intermittently computer read normal and dials went thru their dance.
Hit the starter and 'click!' and dead again, readout on the computer blank again.
Once the key was on and the start procedure (dials/lights) just came on after being blank (except time and miles).
When I turn the key to 'off'' I can hear what sounds like a slight electrical/grinding sound.
Like it's trying to go into shutdown mode.
Sounds like a dead battery right? Battery tests at 12.9V.
Checked all the battery connections including the Fuzebox installed for accessories (clean install I might add).
All good.
Never had a start problem to date.
What do I do next I ask...
Dead computer?
I hate being at the mercy of The Dealership...
